42. I feel like the "cloud of doom " hanging over us has been lifted, but that's about it.

The doom was the constant bashing of Biden by Democrats, back and forth stuff, uncertainty, rumors, gossip and people trying to get him to withdraw. It's over. We move on.

But that's about it. Reality will set in regarding all the details in the coming weeks.

I'm pissed of course.

Oh well, Biden's debate is now in the history books etc etc etc. No more talk about "Biden's old age". It all seems so superficial. CBS News now talking about Kamala's skills. The media will find something.
